Italian Restaurant · Bella Vista - Southwark · 37 tips and reviews
Amanda Shulman: One of the best pasta places in Philly. Get the Mugnaia and the Tazozelle as pastas, and don't even think about missing the burrata as the appetizer. Desserts are insane also, semifreddo especially.
Showtime Network: Luckily, you’ve stumbled across a Philly classic that’s under the tourist radar. If only the Vatican had such a place, the Borgia family would have surely escaped papal stresses and prying eyes here.
Jase: For dessert, be sure to order farm-fresh, sheep's milk cheeses and aged ricottas from Marcelli Formaggi in Abruzzi. Amazing!
